Just wondering how many there are of us?

Few Q&A's

1. What year and model of engine
2. What air filter set up
3. What exhaust system
4. What Diff and wheel sizes
5. What type of gear linkage - cable/solid links

1. 1998 C1
2. TTS dome style
3. Chestersportscars Avon/tiger B6 (probably)
4. 3.62 LSD with 15 inch OZ superleggras
5. Solid links using aluminium bars and rose joints.

Helooo.
Thought it was about time I joined up to this forum.
So I have done.

In response to the questions:
1. 1999 C2
2. Pipercross foam "sausage"
3. S.T.'s off the shelf ZX9 system
4. 3.62, 185/60-14
5. Solid link


Cheers,
Ben

1. 1998 C1
2. Butchered & welded std filter & box (fits under bonnet, no holes)
3. Butchered & welded std system + GSXR600 Micron carbon race can
4. 3.54 mk2 escort live axle 13" minilites with 185-70/13 yoko A021r's
5. Solid links using aluminium bars and rose joints.

1.1998 C1
2.None at present
3.Will be std ST
4.3.92LSD 205/50/15
5.ST bar and rose joints

NB could all be subject to change as not completely built yet!

Hey chaps:

1. 1999 C2
2. Pipercross super flat P600 (under bonnet) with dynojet kit with biggest jet (which I think is actually the smallest if that makes sense)
3. Standard ST
4. 3.89 Cortina with 195x50x15 with Toyo Proxy's
5. Cable link - seems to work though I've not tested it at speed yet (local car park is too small!)

And welcome Ben, good to see you on here.

Hey Guys, I use to log on here but haven't come on-line for a while!

1. 1999 C2
2. Cone filter feeding T2 turbo(similar to Renault GT5) Intercooler than through my own design of intake manifold. (single Throttle)
3. Again custom designed (by myself ) Turbo application.
4. 3.38 diff ratio Sierra with LSD tyres 215X45X16
5. Debate between mechanical rod activation or a friend might build me up a push button system.

Hi,
Details as follows:-

1. C1 98
2. None yet but single socks from Fisher Sports cars being considered along with stage 1 jetting set.
3. ST MANIFOLD AND BOX ( bit worried about the exhaust being noisy for track days).
4. 3.62 Sierra diff 185.60/14" wheels
5. MK rose jointed alloy tube linkage.

Cheers, Paul

1. 1998 C1
2. Pipercross foam jobbie
3. Homemade stainless 4-2-1, Tiger Catalytic converter (temporary) standard GSXR silencer(temporary) Carbon can to follow SVA.
4. 3.62 Sierra LSD with black15 inch TSW blades and Toyo proxes 195x50x15"
5. Solid links using aluminium bars and rose joints.

Hi Glen

Sounds an interesting setup, how much more power do you expect the turbo to generate? any chance of posting some pics?

Hi Wadders, soon hope to be able to upload the pics, problem is i have been taking alot of them in very high res about 800Kb, so i have to reduce this, quite time consuming. The system is quite complex as i have fitted my own fuel injection system running off cossy injectors, i am going to aim for 180-200 BHP. I used to drag race bikes and with Nitro we managed 175BHP easily and reliably, on a stock engine. In norway 225BHP kits with turbos are available, but i doubt the strength of engine and box to take this strain. When everything is up and running about 3 weeks i hope i will give full details of the whole sysytem.

See ya
Glen

Sounds interesting Glen! It should be reasonably quick!

Hi Austen, I hope its reasonably quick but after the drag bikes and a few cars i have had the privellage to pilot, it has a hard act to follow thats the reason for the rather extreme build and careful attention to detail. I will keep you posted on the outcome.

what about sumps??

Myself, not sure what to do yet

Home built chasis and suspension, converted over the winter from 1300GT Xflow.

1, ZX9R e1 2000/2001 (From M1 Salvage)
2,Filter TTS dome
3,ST manifold, Techsport repackable silencer.
4,Cortina diff 3.75:1
5,Rod link with pivot mounted on engine cradle.
6, Sump standard with guard fitted.

It went on the TTS rolling road last week and made 120BHP at the wheels after re-jetting. But the biggest improvement was in the mid range power which at 9500RPM jumped from 85BHP to 115BHP. I thought it was quick before being set up, now it's very very quick and so much more driveable. Does anyone else have dyno figures?

Had either of you done any work on the carbs before you had TTS do their thing or were they still jetted as on the bike. I can't decide if I should leave the carbs untouched and just have TTS RR it or fit a Dynojet kit myself.

And for the record

1, C2 1999
2, None yet
3, ST system
4, 3.62 Sierra lsd
5, ST rod linkage
6, ST sump on order

Okay I know I should be revising but had to come online to get some notes on some books for an english exam on wed and saw this so:
1) 2001 c2
2)?
3)? standard zx9 with r1 can hopefully and a catalitic converter for a week for sva
4)LSD don't know the ratio big sierra ones for the mo hope fully get some nice 15/16" alloys eventually
5)first job after exams solid tho
Cheers guys You lot can get back to building while I have to revise

Mine were still as off the bike, before going to TTS.
I (mostly) took Ian Gray's advice and took it easy untill the TTS session and even though it was too lean it doesn't seem to have done it any harm.
It didn't half feel better afterwards though
Cheers,
Ben

Hi ben, dont feel too bad, in two weeks i have to sit for my final exams of University. (B.Commerce Managment), two days before which my car has to be completed for a Car show. I am sponsored to race locally (Malta) in our hill climb championship by a beer company who are also sponsoring the show. Its the books during the day and the car at night!!!

Can i ask why everyone is so sure that carbs are the way to go, a well mapped fuel injected blade will always beat a carb model, both in mid range and max power. There is the argument that the rolling road is expensive when Mapping, but it seems that you all take your carbs for setup as well. If there are any bikers out there ride the new blade (2003) against a 99 model and see the difference.

See ya Glen

Thanks Ben and Ninja. I will be going to TTS after the car is on the road and let them tune it. Another problem solved.

Austen/Ben

Dyno results now in photo archive.

Good piece of simple software to change the size all your pictures in one batch:

Irfanview at http://www.irfanview.com/

I use it all the time for mass coversions of images for my web site.

Use the batch conversion section under 'File'.

Ditto Jasper & it's free, which is better than cheap!
